[LPJ Design] FREE Races of Obsidian Twilight: Khymer (PRPG) Preview released


Product Discussion


Louis Porter Jr. Design, has released its next preview for the upcoming post apocalyptic survival horror fantasy setting, Obsidian Twilight for the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game. Here is information on the Races of Obsidian Twilight: Khymer (PRPG) Preview:

The Khymer are descended from those killed, or at least physically destroyed, when the negative energy infused meteor struck Abaddon. The necromantic radiation emanating from the blast had many long lasting effects on Abaddon and its people but for the people of one city it meant liquefaction before the ravening light of negative energy, breaking down, losing their bodies and becoming a mingled pool of liquid, infused with negative energy and the latent remnants of that people’s native psionic abilities. The Khymer are a people reduced to a pool of alien blood, powerfully infused with psionic energy but dependent upon the corpses of the dead to provide vessels for them to travel, vulnerable as they are without bodies, exposed to extremes of heat and cold and unable to hold weapons or wear armor.

Creepy.


Psionics. I'm curious when the campaign is released at the end of January if you made any overhauls yourself with regard to psionics compatibility w/ Pathfinder.

We have been in talks with Dreamscarred Press about unifying the Psionics Pathfinder system with the Obsidian Twilight setting. We know that that the Psionics system we have created does work with current 3.5 Psionics system and should it easily intergrate with the system being developed by Dreamscarred Press.


Aha! Good man.


Your preview stinks. Next time, try adding the racial traits.

Sorry you feel that way but that wouldn't be a preview. That would be the actual product.

I thought the product is the upcoming Obsidian Twilight Campaign Setting?

No. We have three more preview races to release in January 2010 and then the World of Obsidian Twilight; the history of the setting; at the end of January.


Louis,

I just reminded myself to take a look at the free preview. Very intriguing. When taking upon the form of the deceased as they ooze into its corpse, do they have to be necessarily humanoid and/or bipedal? It'd be interesting to see some variant arts of what this race can technically accomplish so as to allow us to expand our visual imagination as to its actual potential.

Does that make sense?

Yes it does. Actually the Khymer reconstruct the body to appear like there old humaniod form. So it doesn't matter what the dead body looking like or was when it was alive, the boby becomes Khymer. Until they burn it out.

Got it. I just figured it would be more interesting, deceiving, or sinister if they had some sort of psuedo amorphous-doppelgangerlike ability to take upon the deceased's visage before the real surprise sets in. Kinda like if you threw a mimic template on it or something to that effect.

In addition, I'm waiting to see if you got anything else up your sleeves for races that borders on the unusual. Everything thus far has been humanoid-ish, so it would be nice to see something more odd or alien (like what you're doing with your other setting).

I must tell you I am personally against non-humaniod types. I have attempted them in the past on other products and projects. People always like to see them and like the concept of them, but on the sales side, they sell about a 50% less than a typical humanoid race. Why? I don't know. People say the like a LOT of stuff they actually never buy.


Maybe because they lack the imagination or ingenuity to pull it off? :P

No, I actually understand where you're coming from with regard to a sales perspective. Ultimately, the dollar leads best when it comes to making designs and products that appeal to the purchasing / discriminating buyer. For me personally, unless I can really use a particular race as a single purchased product (like Qwilion's Ironborn upgrade), I tend to wait when races are bundled together for me to explore the more unusual. Kinda like what Alluria did when they released all of their races in a compendium.

I'm babbling. :D

That too! There are a lot of days I feel that way. Making something cool is a job in itself.

It is said how much I, as a business owner, have to do things that go against me, RPG player and creator. But as long as I do products that in the end that I really enjoy and are useful, then I am happy.
